Did you try turning it off and back on?

Thanks for the explanation! I love learning new things.

Are modern day much different? I assumed we still use glass insulators and can’t really tell the difference between old and new towers.

I've treated myself to a Raspberry Pi Pico advent calendar this year. Day 1 was basic setup, but today I made an LED blink. Witness my power!

In case you missed it, Day two of #makeradvent is live! Today I show off a new HOTO precision electric screwdriver that now lives on my desk.

Bluesky on a Raspberry Pi Pico W?

Yep, you can use a Raspberry Pi Pico W to send and receive posts on Bluesky. This guide shows you how to set up your Pico W as a simple tool for interacting with the Bluesky API

Make time if you don’t have time.

Be there or be square!

Success! The I²C protocol sounded a bit intimidating at first to understand and set up but is actually quite simple! Stay tuned for more updates!

Sometimes, you have to stop ignoring the details and dive into the nitty-gritty of how things work. Today, I’m learning about I²C—how devices talk to each other over just two wires—because the libraries I’ve found don’t quite work for my project. Wish me luck!”

Simple yet perfect!

Python doesn’t get the love it deserves.

Happy thanksgiving or just another Thursday to those who don’t celebrate. Either way, enjoy your day!

I admit I’m still rather new to microcontrollers.

However, the few other project I have done have been pretty straight forward and simple to implement and deploy. Use micropython or c++ or arduino syntax.

Great support and documentation as well. Not bad for a US$5 MCU.

Thanks for your interest!

Here's the short version: My family works out in the garage, and during winter, we keep the garage door closed while using a kerosene heater. I’m building a system to monitor CO2 levels, get alerts if the garage door is left open, and log whenever it opens or closes.

A little more progress today!

Plenty of B-Roll footage.

Let’s get that SCD-30 up and running!

I want to have a reason/excuse to get one… but I don’t. 🤣

Got several hard drives full of shitty python scripts.

I’d be more than happy to share them for free! 😂

It needs to be very specific and ethical.

Magnetic sensor tested successfully. Time for the SCD-30 CO2 sensor next.

In this hardware test, the #RaspberryPi #Pico ‘s onboard LED turns off when the sensor is open and on when closed. Simple but a start.

Debouncing included.

Well thanks you for sharing either way.

I hope to see more in my feed.

Embrace the cursed gift. 😂

Thanks for the update.

Do you have or plan to have a repo for this?

This sounds like a really fun project mixed with nostalgia and modern tech.

Why does “over engineered” have such a negative connotation?

If you’re not going for over engineered are you even trying?

Now that’s something Americans don’t see everyday.

It’s not a hobby, it’s an additional skill in you bag of tools…….. for your hobbies.

This is the best opinion.

That is so awesome!

Please keep us updated!

That would be fantastic!
